We proudly provide “all-risk” emergency and non-emergency services to the citizens of Carson City and surrounding communities through mutual aid.  As an "all-risk" fire department, we respond to a wide spectrum of emergencies, everything from medical aids, technical rescues, public assists, hazardous materials, house fires, commercial fires, wildland fires, vehicle accidents, and the list goes on. 

Non-emergency calls for service are some of the most important calls we respond to. Our firefighters take pride in delivering a service and helping our citizens when no one else will. Firefighters are trained to quickly diagnose a problem and provide a solution for a positive outcome. 

We currently operate out of three strategically positioned firehouses throughout the city.  We staff two fire engines with three personnel, one ladder truck with four personnel, four advanced life support ambulances with two personnel, and one shift Battalion Chief, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. 

Today's fires occur in all types of environments and firefighters must be prepared. Structural firefighting occurs when fire attacks residential and commercial structures such as homes, grocery stores, chemical storage facilities, apartment complexes, etc. Firefighters are also faced with hundreds of other types of fires, anything from vehicle fires to large wildland fires. Fires have become more dangerous for firefighters in recent years due to manufacturing and construction changes.
